You’re stressed. Bloated. Anxious. Yep, it’s that time of the month, and you couldn’t feel worse, unfortunately. We’ve all been there, and I’m sure you’ve often wondered how you could make yourself feel better. Thankfully, I’ve got the answer for you, and it’s incredibly simple: orange essential oil, which is simply made by cold compressing orange peels (Kiran, 2019).

It sounds crazy, I know, but don’t bail on me yet, hear me out! Orange essential oils have a well-documented wide range of amazing health benefits, and most of these benefits are centered around biological events that occur during your period.

First, this oil has been known to boost your mood and actually trigger happy memories, which we could all use more of during that time of the month. It can also reduce anxiety and promote a feeling of calm while triggering those happy memories mentioned a second ago (Kiran, 2019).

Plus, this amazing little oil can actually relieve inflammation, which is the number one cause of period pain. It can also act as a sedative, so maybe you can sleep a little better with less pain during your next period (Kiran, 2019).

Finally, orange essential oil can help to stimulate your endocrine system which can aid in regulating your period! So, if you find that you often have irregular menstruation start times, try out this awesome oil (Kiran, 2019).

I don’t know about you, but I’m running to the nearest store to get some of this stuff, and I am going to make my whole house smell like oranges. I am in desperate need of its calming, restorative, regulating properties, and I’m sure you are too!
